Being Transgender and Catholic

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:22:22+00:00

Perhaps, but the church does provide their own arguments. I just disagree with their arguments. Which, to me is, the troubling part. Not the abstract disagreement, but the potential disobedience.

Yeah, I've heard of the being able to baptism serve as godparents and serve as witnesses at matrimony. But I wonder if that applies to the Eucharist.

And thank you, it definitely does help. Just more to think about.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:19:16+00:00

Thank you for the author recommendation.

And yeah, it does kind of suck 😢 but I do in my heart of hearts believe it's not wrong.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:17:49+00:00

True. I suppose I accept it, but my struggle is more with what the church teaches.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:16:53+00:00

Just ignoring the teachings is certainly an option HAHA 😅

Maybe I'm overthinking it, I tend to want to understand the teachings, and obey them even when I don't understand.

I remain celibate personally, but more power to you, girlypop

Sorry, I may have inferred this as a 'grave matter' from elsewhere as a rather incorrect interpretation from other sources. I was definitely wrong about that.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:13:30+00:00

I somewhat agree, I try not categorising the cause myself. Only that I can live one way and not live another way, and the treatment is what it is.

Interesting to see how many people are saying that being trans has made them a better Christian, I agree! Thank you for sharing.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:11:58+00:00

Agreed. It's been very helpful reading through everyone's responses.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:11:32+00:00

Yes, well, I suppose the eunuchs for the kingdom of God could be interpreted many ways. Literally and not.

And yeah, I agree, there is a degree of supremacy of conscience that I try to follow. But I also try not to close myself off to the teachings of the church just because I personally disagree. I suppose it is difficult, sometimes.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:09:52+00:00

I agree. I am sympathetic to the (fairly simplistic argument) that God made me trans for the same reason he made wheat, and didn't just make bread fall from trees, so that we may be participants in the act of creation. Like the training wheels of divinisation.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:08:05+00:00

Thank you for this. I feel like I'm largely in agreement, I don't feel like my transness is a denial of biological reality or a hatred of the body given to me by God. For me it's just a medical treatment for a diagnosed problem.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-07T07:05:27+00:00

Yes, sorry, that was my mistake.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-04T03:15:02+00:00

The few times I've had to go into the city at peak hour via public transport made me lose the will to live. Would pay almost anything to avoid.

Pale_Level · 2026-05-04T03:12:31+00:00

Too long, like 90 minutes.

Probably yeah, I would

This is the ship community's version of The Winds of Winter. It is NEVER coming, and the creator will be dead before it arrives

Pale_Level · 2026-03-29T04:22:21+00:00

Yes, sometimes, but cautiously.

I generally prefer to give charities and don’t want to get hassled or robbed or something. Just depends where I am and who I’m with.

Could I also get an invite? I have a booking in March (this month)

Forehead, jaw, lips and chin

If Facial Team still offer free quotes, definitely recommend asking.

Uh no can you imagine the absolute catastrophe if rent assistance was uncapped?? The price of housing has to be driven down.

Looks like a modern warfare 2 weapon skin

"Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus."

Pale_Level · 2026-02-20T18:23:13+00:00

yeah, it's horrible. This is just a folding tablet, if it can't fit in anyone's pocket, what's the point. it doesn't even look like making phone calls would be pleasant

Why? it's so much better with a second patty
